Tonight I had my first opportunity to try out the PowerGrid, an attachment to the Lightsphere flash diffuser. This turns the flash into a spotlight of sorts with a rather narrow beam. It not only lights up the subject well, but when combined with the proper settings on the camera completely blacks out all surrounding areas. It can make for a really cool and dramatic shot. Thanks to Trevor for the quick pose. I saw this add-on in a YouTube video by Gary Fong who makes it and thought it would not work as described and shown, but it definitely does. I see this as being a staple shot for various portraits and possibly weddings. Sometimes the best technology is just plastic.
